Join the Friends of Cook Forest at the Log Cabin Inn Environmental Learning Classroom where we’ll shuttle to hike on a loop of the Old Logging Road and the Rhododendron Trails.

Please bring your mask & snorkels to the River Cabin playground to search the river for aquatic insects and fish. This is a great opportunity to see fish and bugs up close and undisturbed in their natural habitat. It’s a totally different world down there. Children must be with a participating adult. Be prepared to car pool to other areas along the river.
“Discovering Unique Attributes of Our Local Creeks.” Leave promptly at the Park Office to carpool potentially dozens of miles along the Clarion and Allegheny River watersheds. Long, difficult hikes will be taken through often steep, muddy, weedy off-trail terrain into some of these hard to reach places. Things to possibly see along the way include huge conglomerate boulders, scenic vistas, rock outcrops and seldom seen herps. Participants must be in excellent physical shape to attempt this program. Bring good hiking boots, walking stick, lunch and plenty of water.
This will be a celebration of everything we love about summer in Brookville, slow wandering, thoughtful shopping, beautiful window displays, and the simple joy of being out together as the day turns into evening. There is so much more to come, and we cannot wait to share each detail as it unfolds. For now, consider this your invitation to follow along and save the date. Midsummer on Main will be something special.
